Thomas Erwin Latimer was an American politician and lawyer who served as the Minnesota Farmer–Labor Party mayor of Minneapolis from 1935 to 1937. His mayoral term coincided with a period of labor unrest in the city. Prior to that, Latimer worked as a lawyer on the freedom of the press dispute that ultimately resulted in the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Near v. Minnesota. Latimer is of no direct relation to former St. Paul mayor George Latimer.
